IBM RSE API SDK overview

IBM® Remote System Explorer API (RSE API) SDK is an extension from IBM Remote System Explorer API. Same as RSE API, RSE API SDK allows clients to work with various components on the z/OS® host system, such as MVS™ data sets, z/OS UNIX files and commands, and JES jobs.

RSE API SDK provides easy-to-call methods while specifying the parameters that are required by the RSE API itself. Therefore, Java™ clients can call the REST APIs without worrying about the backbone structure of a request call and the type of response to accept. Use RSE API SDK in your Java project by importing the IBM RSE API SDK Toolkit that contains the library of JAR files required to support the RSE API SDK Toolkit APIs. For more information, see Importing IBM RSE API SDK Toolkit.

RSE API SDK also provides default code templates for you to call upon during development to easily access its services. For example, the code templates that are provided for logging in to z/OS, logging out of z/OS, and listing z/OS UNIX System Services files. For more information, see Accessing IBM RSE API SDK code templates.
